The rapid adoption of employee scheduling and workforce management software SmartTask gathered pace last year with record levels of growth in the UK and internationally. In particular, there was an 81% increase in the number of field service businesses using the system, which now includes 40 cleaning service providers having been launched in this sector during 2017.

“Over the past few years we have worked hard to understand the needs of the cleaning industry to develop a solution that possesses the right mix of employee scheduling and workforce management functionality,” said Paul Ridden, CEO of SmartTask. “This has enabled us to achieve impressive growth last year both domestically and worldwide, with our software now being used in 15 countries and successful trials underway in mainland Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australasia.”
